How we handle remedial sealant in Egypt
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. We work on leaking tray & enclosure joints, expansion joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps opening along the back of the worktop and floor or wall movement joints that have failed.
For a small place like Egypt, remedial sealant is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Bathrooms and kitchens in Egypt
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Burnham station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. Schools such as Farnham Common Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. For a village or hamlet like Egypt, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the joint for movement, leaks and the reason it failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- Finally we finish the joint and talk you through what we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Always have old sealant cut out, not covered
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
Do not let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
Warning signs: sealant lifting at the ends, a second bead visible on top of the first, black mould under the silicone, or stains below a bathroom. Each one is worth getting looked at.
What happens if it’s left?
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but not by much: the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. Compared with chasing the same leak every few months, it’s time well spent. Around Egypt, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What else we do in Egypt
Common problems we fix in Egypt
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Torn expansion joints
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould often spreads under the bead as well as through it. Once it’s all removed, the joint is treated so the new sealant starts clean.
Worktops & kitchens
If a worktop moves when you lean on it, the sealant will keep splitting. It needs fixing down first, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Common questions in Egypt
I let a flat near Burnham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Egypt?
Yes, Egypt is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you strip sealant from an acrylic tray safely?
Yes. We take our time over removal, especially on acrylic, enamel and uPVC.
